If he can get over 40 it would just show up your admin/management that he is third choice. I honestly like Sam. He has been a major player for the Sydney Thunder and above all he is just a top bloke who loves his cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buttler hasn’t really delivered with the bat and has struggled at times as keeper with a few glaring technical issues. Foakes is arguably the better red ball batsman ( far superior FC ave) and is undoubtedly the pick of the wicketkeepers. If you’re going to have any chance in places like Australia you need to take pretty much every chance as a keeper. Also Buttler’s stumping record is about as bad as it gets. And when I say it’s an odd one it’s because it’s an easy fix / absolute no-brainer Edited January 15, 2022 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken 119 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Well on Buttler I agree. He showed nothing on this tour. I haven't seen Foakes play. But if you think he's the superior player then I would say I hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken 119 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 England need to get someone in to teach the young boys coming through to bang it into the pitch rather than skid. And build pace. As for your top order batsmen... where do I begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
